Correlation analysis of eye and lip canting correction after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery and orthodontic treatment.
Article in Maxillofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFacial asymmetry is a frequent indication for orthognathic surgery. Vertical discrepancies such as eye and lip canting strongly influence perceived facial balance. While orthognathic surgery effectively repositions skeletal structures, the extent of soft tissue canting correction remains uncertain.
methodsThis retrospective study included 25 patients who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery followed by orthodontic treatment between 2017 and 2023. Patients were classified into three groups: eye + lip canting (Group A, n = 10), Eye canting, lip canting, soft tissue chin deviation, and commissure height difference were measured using standardized frontal photographs and cephalometric radiographs at three time points: preoperative (T0), postoperative (T1), and post-debonding (T2). One-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test were used.
resultsOrthognathic surgery significantly improved both eye and lip canting (P < 0.05). Lip canting showed greater responsiveness than eye canting. Soft tissue chin deviation and commissure height difference also demonstrated significant postoperative improvements that were maintained through the debonding stage. Minimal or no further changes occurred during orthodontic treatment. Group A demonstrated the greatest overall improvement.
conclusionBimaxillary orthognathic surgery effectively improves soft tissue canting, particularly of the in the lower face. Most correction occurs during the surgical phase, while orthodontics contributes minimally.
